Maybe just a redirect to en.wikipedia.org in the server conf or
.htaccess???
I have now done it by temporarily replacing index.php with the file
found at
http://semantic-mediawiki.org/index.php_blackout
This short file has an easy-to-modify text and sends a 503 response as
suggested by Google. Feel free to use it. The result can be seen at:

That's pretty unnecessary. Using the BeforeInitialize hook is good enough.
Thanks, that would also do the trick. I don't think it makes a big
difference in practice to be honest (either you upload/rename a file, or
you upload/edit a file; I found the former to be simpler). But the hook
would be a much nicer solution if one wanted to add more features and
make this into a kind of extension ... I leave this to others :-)
